Sardinian endemic, known so far only from few localities in western Sardinia: Gonnesa, Fluminimaggiore, Asuni and Campeda ( Binaghi 1948 ). Its occurence in Corsica , still mentioned in some recent works ( Sánchez-Terròn 2004 , with doubt; Vít 2004 ) should be refused ( cf . Binaghi 1948 ). Notes. Collected with the Berlese method in various habitats: Quercus ilex woodland, Mediterranean maquis and in an orchard garden at the base of a Ficus carica .
